Katarina Krassina

"All of my paintings are signed by my Artist name – “Catherine”.
I have always been drawn to Art, to everything that is creative and innovative. And that led me into the class with an artistic bias at the age of 7. And then my Art journey continued through Tallinn Art School (Estonia) and private art classes with amazing artists. My art journey led me to the Estonian Academy of Arts, where I had a privilege of studying Fine Arts (Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture, Drawing, Monumental Painting and much more) throughout the years of constant practice and hard work. Today I have the pleasure of sharing my art with you.
My artworks are focusing on my Love of Nature, and of the world that is within. The love of art and Nature has inspired me to travel around the World to gain the experience and knowledge on my way.
The paintings are the everyday reminders of how remarkable and beautiful the world really is: within us and around us. Of how important it truly is to experience and live the life to the fullest, to explore your fullest potential and to be who you really are."
